If Like Repels Like, Do Opposites Attract?: Chapter 9





Sam had been worrying about seeing Chad at school after their little incident of not quite sex. He wondered how Chad would treat him, if things would be awkward between them.



Now at lunchtime, halfway through the day, he wondered why he worried in the first place. Chad was acting pretty much like normal. There were a few subtle differences in the way he treated Sam that Sam picked up on. Chad was smiling at him more, their eyes meeting more, and touching Sam more. His hands would graze Sam’s arm or leg where they were sitting and a few times he rested his hand at the center of Sam’s back.



It was kind of nice and not making Sam feel uncomfortable at all. He felt remarkably unstressed over the whole situation.



Sam noticed Alyssa watching him closer than usual, a small knowing smile on her face. It made Sam wonder if Chad told her what happened between them. He wouldn’t be surprised considering that they were best friends and she told him that Chad told her everything.



He got his answer when Alyssa caught up with him after school in the art room.



“So…yesterday you and Chad hung out…” She trailed off, an eyebrow raised and a teasing smile.



Sam felt himself blushing. “Yeah. He talked to you about it?”



“Of course. Don’t hurt my boy.”



“What?” Sam was thrown off. “Hurt him?”



Alyssa stared at him. “You still don’t get it? After he practically mauled you in his truck then took you home and you still don’t get it?”



“What am I supposed to get?”



Alyssa sighed. “I guess I’ll just tell you, it’s so fricking obvious. Chad has been attracted to you for years.”



“What?” Sam was honestly surprised. “Chad’s gay? Or bi?”



“Well, I would describe him as Sammy-sexual. You‘re like the only person Chad has crushed on since he hit puberty.”



Sam was shocked. “I…Wha…seriously? That long?”



Alyssa nodded. “Seriously. Since that 8th grade play he’s thought that you are fantastic.”



“Why didn’t he say anything? We never really spoke until now. This year.”



“Chad’s kind of shy about it. It took a lot for him to actually say he thought you were hot. I mean he would talk about you all the time, but it wasn’t until Sophomore year that he actually admitted he had a crush on you. Todd and I have been trying to encourage him to make a move on you since then.”



Sam felt his stomach fall suddenly and his tone held his hurt. “So, is that the only reason you guys wanted to be my friends? Because Chad wants to bone me?”



“Oh no!” Alyssa grabbed his arm. “Sweetie, maybe that’s what brought you to our attention initially, but we totally love you! How could we not?” The hand that grabbed released it’s hold and began to pet his arm affectionately.



Sam merely nodded in response. He felt like it was a bit to process. Knowing that Chad had a crush on him for literally years made him re-examine everything that happened between the group the past weeks.



“So are you going to the game tonight?” Alyssa asked.



Sam nodded. “Chad wants to do something afterwards.”



Alyssa grinned. “Yeah? That’s good.”



“Yeah,” Sam nodded.



“Well, I gotta get gorgeous for cheering. Have fun tonight,” Alyssa gave him a quick hug before leaving him alone with his thoughts.

The game was another exciting one. Chad did exceptionally well, throwing three point shots and making most of his attempts. Sam had brought his sketchpad to get some drawing done, but it was laying unopened on his lap, his attention was so captured by the game.



Watching Chad was pretty riveting, especially after all he had learned that afternoon. It brought thoughts up in Sam’s head about how he felt about the situation. It was flattering to know that Chad had liked him so much and for so long. It was a little shocking, but Alyssa was right. He should have seen the signs before.



While Chad wasn’t normally the kind of guy he was attracted to, getting to know him made Sam realize that he could be attracted to him. Yeah Chad was a jock, but he was so much more than that. Chad was caring, sweet, humble, kind of shy, very dependable, and those qualities made him kind of hotter.



And it wasn’t just knowing that Chad had a gorgeous cock.



Well, that definitely influenced Sam’s opinion of Chad’s hotness. Seeing Chad naked, even that briefly was an eye opening experience, no pun intended. And then to have that particular part of anatomy in his hands for the hands on experience…yeah.



Ugh, Sam got sidetracked thinking about Chad’s dick. That made him feel like such a stereotypical homosexual. But he couldn’t help it. Seriously.



Back in the present, the buzzer sounded ending the game. Sam waited for people to clear out a bit before descending the bleachers to congratulate Chad and Todd on winning the game.



Chad spotted him first and grabbed him in a tight hug. “Sam! That was so awesome! Glad you came.”



Sam could have sworn he felt Chad’s mouth drag against his neck as he pulled back from the hug, but it was so brief he couldn’t be sure if it was just his imagination. Looking around, it didn’t seem as if anyone noticed anything, but Chad had a small smile on his face that made Sam believe that he didn’t just imagine it.



“Hey Sammy!” Todd draped an arm over Sam’s shoulder.



“Ewww, get your sweaty body off me,” Sam joked, pushing Todd away.



“Oh, but you don’t mind Chad’s sweaty body,” Todd wriggled his eyebrows in a manner he probably thought was suggestive, but Sam thought he just looked ridiculous.



Chad laughed. “He likes me better,” he stated matter of factly, playfully ruffling Sam’s hair.



“Oh yeah,” Sam joked back winking at him.



Chad grinned. “Like that. I’m gonna grab a shower. Meet you back here?”



“Aw Sam’s not gonna wait for you in the locker room?” Todd teased.



Chad blushed bright red. “Not after what you pulled last time,” he shoved his shoulder.



The friends laughed as they headed to the showers.

Chad ended up taking Sam to him house. They grabbed pizza and a movie on the way and were in Chad’s living room. They were on the couch together, starting out with a space between them, but it was steadily becoming smaller and smaller as the movie went on.



Finally, Chad glanced at Sam then pointedly closed the space until their legs were pressed together, hips, thighs, knees, down to their feet.



Sam didn’t move a muscle, frozen in place. Weirdly, he felt as if he and Chad were sharing the same breath, breathing in time with one another. It was kind of a strange feeling.



They remained like that for the rest of the movie, not pressing forward, but not moving away; Sam actually really enjoyed it, the closeness.



When the movie was over, Chad asked, “Want to watch another one?”



Sam nodded and after Chad changed the DVD and returned to the couch, they resumed their close position.



And Sam thought that he could definitely get used to this.
